EN 14581:2004 (E) 5 1 Scope This document specifies two methods to determine the linear thermal expansion coefficient of natural stone, respectively based on mechanical
24、length-change measurements (Method A) or on the use of bonded electric strain gauges (Method B). 2 Normative references Not applicable. 3 Principle After drying to constant mass, the specimen is subjected to length measurement in a direction “i” whilst maintaining at least two different temperatures
25、. The linear coefficient of thermal expansion between the extreme temperatures is expressed as the unitary change in length for a change of temperature of 1 C. 4 Symbols s20l Initial length of the specimen at a temperature of (20 0,5) C in mm. s80l Final length of the specimen at a temperature of (8

EN 14581:2004 (E) 6 NOTE 1 Due to rock anisotropy, the coefficient of thermal expansion can change with the direction in which the measurement is carried out. In some cases the coefficient of thermal
30、 expansion can be negative in some directions and positive in other ones. NOTE 2 The coefficient of thermal expansion is not linear with the temperatures. The temperature range in this document is (20 to 80) C, and it will be assumed that iis linear in this range. If the linearity of the thermal exp
31、ansion coefficient need to be evaluated, intermediate measurements at different temperature will need to be made and plotted on a graph. 5 Apparatus 5.1 A ventilated oven capable of raising the temperature from (20 0,2) C to (80 0,2) C at a rate of 0,5 C/min and maintaining temperatures within that
32、range for at least two hours with an accuracy of at least 0,5 C. 5.2 (For Method A) A mechanical measuring device (dilatometer), with an accuracy of at least 1/100 000 of the measuring length (see Figure 1), any other device able to measure length-changes within the given accuracy (e.g. electronic d
33、ilatometers). 5.3 (For Method B) A strain gauge measuring device, containing the following parts (see Figure 2): 5.3.1 Strain gauges suitable to be used within the foreseen temperature range. NOTE Strain gauges should be chosen according to their manufacturers specifications and test laboratory expe
34、rience. Strain gauge length should be at least 8 times the maximum grain size of the rock to be tested. In the case of exceptionally large grains, this length could be 3 times the maximum grain size. 5.3.2 A measuring device consisting of an electrical bridge (Wheatstone bridge) and a signal amplifi
35、er, with at least four measuring channels. The accuracy of the device shall be at least 510-6(mm/mm). Inner resistances in the electrical bridge shall be fixed to a granite rock or similar one for compensating temperatures. 5.4 A calibrated reference sample, with a known coefficient of thermal expan
36、sion within test temperature range (20 to 80) C. A reference sample could be made of different materials with low thermal expansion coefficient (invar steel, etc). It shall have a length twice the length of strain gauges and a minimum cross section of 50 mm x 50 mm. 5.5 A temperature measuring devic

39、tic test set-up of a strain-gauges measuring device 6 Preparation of the specimens 6.1 Sampling The sampling is not the responsibility of the test laboratory, except when specially requested. The position of any bedding or anisotropy shall be marked on the sample or on each specimen by means of at l
40、east two parallel lines. For each direction, at least 2 specimens, shall be selected from an homogeneous batch. The number of test specimens may need to be increased if the stone being tested is heterogeneous. NOTE 1 The thermal expansion coefficient of many stone types is dependent on direction. Th
41、erefore, thermal expansion should be measured in several directions in order to assess the degree of anisotropy. NOTE 2 Discontinuities in natural stone, such as joints, inclusions, veins, bedding, etc., may influence the thermal expansion. Production of microcraks during sampling or specimen prepar
42、ation should be avoided. EN 14581:2004 (E) 9 6.2 Test specimens 6.2.1 General The test can be carried out as an identification test or as a technological test. Identification tests are carried out when the use of the stone with respect to the position of the planes of anisotropy and the thickness an
43、d the surface finish of the stone elements are not known. Technological tests are those carried out when the use of the stone with respect to the position of the planes of anisotropy and the thickness and surface finish of the stone elements are known. In this case, the length of the specimens shall
44、 have the same orientation as the most relevant directions of the largest plane. 6.2.2 Dimensions The dimension of the test specimen shall be in accordance with the minimum size of the measuring length, which is related to the accuracy of the measuring device, and to the maximum grain size of the ro
45、ck. Using mechanical measuring devices, specimens for identification test shall be rectangular prisms, with minimum 50 mm width, 20 mm thickness and 250 mm length (length shall be at least 10 times the largest rock grain size). If strain gauge devices are used, specimens for identification test shal
46、l be cubes or rectangular prisms with minimum 70 mm length, thickness and width. Each one of these dimensions shall be, at least, 10 times the largest rock grain size. For technological test, the thickness shall be equal to that of commercial units and, therefore, the specimen may be not thick enoug
47、h as to enable thermal expansion determinations according to this dimension. In this case, the test is carried out only along the width and the length of the specimen. 6.2.3 Fixing rivets or strain gauges Specimen faces, where the rivets or the strain gauges will be fixed, shall be finished with 600
48、 (FEPA) grain-size sand paper. Fixing adhesive to be used shall be stable within the test temperature range (20 to 80) C. For identification tests using a mechanical device, two rivets are fixed at adequate distance (minimum 200 mm) along the longitudinal axe of each specimen. For identification tes
49、ts using strain gauges, three pairs of gauges shall be fixed to each specimen, in three different perpendicular directions. Gauges in each pair shall be fixed in the same arrangement at opposite faces (see Figure 3). Another pair of gauges shall be fixed at opposite faces of the reference sample. For technological tests, rivets and gauges direction will be lined up with the manufacturing directions. EN 14581:2004 (E) 10 1) three pairs of gauges fix
